Saturday Feature: Weather Escapades

Published by Sula H.

It’s hard to believe that exactly one week ago it was snowing, whereas today, many of us were out to get a tan! This years spring weather has been quite an escapade: cold one day, summery hot the next. Overall, though, it has been on the rather chilly side of things, lately, and without the heat, some of us have been quite freezing in our homes. All the more, do we enjoy days like this when it’s warm and summery outside. And we are not the only ones. Everywhere students ventured outside, sat on the various grass patches around campus, played sports, or like in the image above: practiced for the upcoming sports day.

Freebie Friday: Adorable

Published by Sula H.

Ha! I did it again! I managed to get you a new free template on time! Yay for that! This one is based on a page, using Libby’s new release this week “Andria.”  It’s a little different than my usual templates, but those of you who know my scrap designs, also know that I have no set style, really, since I like lots of different types of layouts. Anyways, I hope, you’ll like it, and as always, I’d love to see what you come up with, using this template. Have fun playing, and: Happy Friday! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs. Eta: FYI – Any links to freebies older than 03/11 have been removed. Sorry, if that means you can’t download them any longer!

Hybrid Hub: Thank You Card No. 3

Published by Sula H.

We are going purple with the hybrid hub today: I have another thank-you card that I want to show you. For this card, I used Shawna Clingerman’s “Strong Enough” digital kit, and worked with several layers. On the main background mat, I “stamped” the word “thankful” (using an alpha from Darcy Baldwin’s “My Stamp Pad”). After designing everything in photoshop, I printed each layer separately, and assembled the card. Note that the three squares each come in two layers, the dark purple background layers, and the patterned top layers. And since I can’t just easily buy fabric flowers here, I printed them, too, cut them, and stuck them on top of everything. There goes another really easy to make card.

Around Town: Campus Garden

Published by Sula H.

  In the ever increasing hustle and bustle of our growing campus, the campus garden is yet one place to find quiet and relaxation from a very busy day. It’s located in the heart of our campus – an oasis with benches that invite passersby to sit down and rest, to enjoy nature, and maybe take your assignments with you and enjoy some extra fresh air, while doing your work. The garden is maybe one of my most favorite places on campus.
